Dog Point Chardonnay 2023 (6 Bottles) Marlborough, NZ

Dog Point Chardonnay 2023 from Marlborough, New Zealand is a pure, citrus‑driven chardonnay that marries precision with real palate weight, showing why this estate is so highly regarded. The nose is all lemon zest, preserved lemon, white peach and nectarine, with struck‑match flint, hazelnut, toast and biscuit adding smoky, savoury complexity. The palate is tightly focused yet mouth‑filling, built around saline, chalky acidity and a core of citrus and stone fruit that feels poised rather than opulent.
